my first doctorate was in old movies

There's the most wonderful old motel down in Crescent City. It's called The Curly Redwood Lodge and it is made completely from one ancient redwood. This would offend my sensibilities no end, except it was built before there was anything like a shortage of redwoods and I'd say these many decades of good service to travelers was far better than the idiots who cut down trees so huge they completely forgot they had NO way to get them to the mill, deciding to make use of the stumps as dance floors.... So, anyway, many was the time when I'd gone walkabout where I ended up there, and find myself not wanting to leave. Not liking Crescent City one bit, but wanting to be in the arms of that tree, with it's pristine clean tile bathrooms, and Turner Classic Movies on the tv... low key... peaceful... not a trace of this steaming dung heap we call our "culture"... just blessed rest... in the arms of an ancient... with the sounds of the sea. When I think of it, I always picture myself watching Notorious, swooning, imagining, just as I did when I was a very young girl.

  1. No one can compare to Hitchcock!

    He even had time for his fans - a friend of mine in high-school was a pen-pal with Alfred. He had a whole stack of letters and lots of signed stills from the movies which Alfred had sent him.

  2. Ok, I need a favor. I just changed puter a few weeks ago and have lost few things beside more gray matter. The link to the women who talking 9/11 towers being done by a ray.
    Thanks

  4. Hey, no prob, been there and done that! New machines are chaos, even with all the fancy importing features they claim to have. AND our brains are becoming so dependent on having these oceans of things to remember somewhere safe on our machines. It's like items on your desk or in your storage room. You know where to grab for the stapler or your Christmas sweaters, but if they get taken by poltergeists, you seriously don't! :o]
